Dax · Answer 1

The ionization of water occurs in pure water or in an aqueous solution where the water molecule loses one nucleus from one of its hydrogen atoms forming OH - and H+. This H + immediately combines with another water molecule forming H3O+.

This reaction has the following postulates (these are the correct choices):

1 - Water ionizes to form peroxide and hydronium ions

2 - Dissociation of water produces equal numbers of OH - and H+.

3 - Dissociation of water is reversible
